San Diego Festival of Science and Engineering Expo Day

This mega celebration of science has something for everyone, from cynical high schoolers to wide-eyed toddlers. From mixing chemicals and touching shark skin to meeting professionals and making your own bubbles, this annual event spotlights a wide range of science. In one corner you might find college students showing off a robot, and across the lawn you’ll see a giant lizard on a leash. There will also be hundreds of booths set up from area high schools, colleges and universities, as well as other San Diego nature- and science-related organizations — all trying to show that there’s more to science than memorizing the periodic table and dissecting frogs.
